Language remains a controversial
issue in Quebec, especially Montreal. The adequacy of Law 101 is at the core of
many discussions in and outside the province. People's understanding of this
law depends on whether they sit among the Francophones or Anglophones. Most
French speakers believe this law is very important and fair, while most English
speakers see the Charter of the French language as a totalitarian law. Thirty
five years after Bill 101 was passed, the government of Quebec still has to
defend some of its amendments in court.
